Top Ten New Edition Side Project Songs

New Edition has been one of the most influential groups in R&B for the last twenty years. Not only have they had hits as a group, but their solo and side projects have spawned many major hits as well. It is hard to come up with another R&B group that has enjoyed as much solo success.

New Edition members Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, and Johnny Gill have all had solo hits. Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell, and Ronnie Devoe enjoyed success as the trio Bell Biv Devoe. Their solo careers began in the eighties and stayed strong all the way through the nineties. Although they haven't enjoyed much success past the nineties, much of their material is still enjoyed by R&B fans today.

Here are the top ten New Edition side project songs:

10. 'My Body' by LSG. New Edition alum, Johnny Gill teamed up with R&B stars Gerald Levert and Keith Sweat to form LSG. Although the trio's music was often hit and miss, 'My Body' is a phenomenal R&B song. Johnny Gill shines in this suggestive ballad.
